Pathfinder, the KCP’s popular guide to cancer-related services and resources for 25 years, is now online and will be featured during a live KET call-in show on cancer at 8 p.m., Wednesday, April 1. The show will air at the culmination of the three-part series beginning March 30, “Cancer: The Emperor of All Maladies.”

The opening page of Pathfinder features links for “Local Resources” and “National and State Resources” so users can go directly to the geographic area they want to investigate.

“People can easily search for resources in cancer prevention, screening, treatment, survivorship and caregiving through Pathfinder,” Sorrell said. “For example, in the ‘Local Resources’ section, you simply choose a topic, select your county and a list of resources in your area will be generated to view or print.”

Donald Miller, M.D., Ph.D., director of UofL’s James Graham Brown Cancer Center, a part of KentuckyOne Health, will join staff from the Kentucky Cancer Program and other health experts to provide information and answer questions from viewers at the conclusion of “Cancer: The Emperor of All Maladies.”

The three-part series based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Siddhartha Mukherjee tells the complete story of cancer, from its first description in an ancient Egyptian scroll to the gleaming laboratories of modern research institutions.

At six hours, the film by Emmy and Peabody Award winner Ken Burns interweaves a sweeping historical narrative with intimate stories about contemporary patients and an investigation into the latest scientific breakthroughs that have brought the world to the brink of finding cures.
